Why This 10,000 Room Hotel Has Never Had a Single Guest

The world’s biggest hotel stands along a wide sandy beach on the German island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea, a big hotel stretching three miles. It has 10,000 bedrooms and they the sea. The most surprising thing is that no guest has ever stayed in this hotel, yet it was built more 70years ago.

The reason is because the Prora beach resort was built between 1936 and 1939 by the Nazis on Hitler’s orders. The big project was never completed because during the same time Hitler was preparing for war, which he prioritized.

This made the theatre, the eight housing blocks and cinema to stay as empty shells. Thus the swimming pools and festival hall never materialized

A lot of people from Hamburg took refuge in one of the housing blocks during the Allied bombing campaign

Later After the war, the East German army used Prora as a military outpost. The buildings were empty since German reunification in 1990

Part of the Nazis’ “Strength through Joy” (“Kraft durch Freude,” KdF) program was the vast complex, designed to accommodate 20,000 visitors

The intention was to spread Nazi propaganda and provide leisure activities for German workers

The buildings are about 500 feet (150 metres) from the beach and extends approximately 3 miles (5 km)

All major construction companies of the Reich and around 9,000 workers participated in this project, during the few years that Prora was under construction

When World War II started in 1939, the construction of the building on Prora stopped and workers moved to weapon factories

The beach lies on the expansive bay between the Sassnitz and Binz regions, which is known as Prorer Wiek. It is on a narrow heath of the Prora which divides the lagoon of the Kleiner Jasmunder Bodden from the Baltic Sea.

Developers have come with a new vision of building hundreds of holiday apartments, which include cafes, discos, hotels, sports halls and swimming pools to attract many visitors

Typical to Third Reich architecture, it’s stark and overbearing by walking up to it, must have felt oppressive.

Scriptures of Vedic Civilization

Vedas are the most ancient, revered, and sacred of the world's scriptures. The Vedas reveal the root of all the knowledge and also called as “Pramana Shastra” (The proof or the base of all the knowledge and by itself does not need a proof). The Vedas were not written by any human, but was revealed to the human through the ancient Rishis (The seers) during their superconscious state or Tapas. Hence the ancient Rishis were not the authors of Vedas, but only the instrument through which the Vedas were made available to human. It is wrong to say that Vedas are the ancient knowledge of Hindus, as the phrase “Hindus” were given to Indians by British. There was only once universal Vedic society in the beginning and there was no concept of race or religion. Hence the Vedic knowledge was revealed and available to the entire humanity. It is also to be noted that Vedas did not have any script, as the knowledge was propagated only through teaching and listening. This method is also r

Vedic & Celtic Cultures Are One

by Druuis Belenios Ategnatos , Aballonas, PO Box 120149, Staten Island NY 10312- 0149 As humanity begins to break free of the Dark Age caused by Christian Europe’s conquest (military, political and cultural) of much of the world, it becomes obvious that the history taught by their culture leaves much to be desired. This includes the history of Europe itself which also had its own Christian invasion, conquest and colonization. Finally, scholars within Western culture are beginning to recognize what the scholars and other leaders of traditional societies have been saying all along, for many centuries. I am going to briefly describe some of the latest findings regarding Indo-European culture. Some of this is theoretical. Some of it is proven to exacting standards. In the interest of brevity, I shall not attribute the following information to the proper academic form. Much of the material used is yet to be published, and is cutting-edge, but should become available soon. My

Vedic Origins of the Europeans: The Danavas, Children of Danu

By David Frawley [Pandit Vamadeva Shastri] This article shows how the Proto-European Aryans, like the Celts, were originally a Vedic people called the Danavas or Sudanavas (good Danavas) connected to Vedic kings, sages and yogis. It is adapated from Frawley’s Rig Veda and the History of India. Many ancient European peoples, particularly the Celts and Germans, regarded themselves as children of Danu, with Danu meaning the Mother Goddess, who was also, like Sarasvati in the Rig Veda, a river Goddess. The Celts called themselves "Tuatha De Danaan", while the Germans had a similar name. Ancient European river names like the Danube and various rivers called Don in Russia, Scotland, England and France reflect this, as do place names like Den-mark (Danava-Marga), to mention but a few. The Danube which flows to the Black Sea is their most important river and could reflect their eastern origins. In fact, the term Danu or Danava (the plural of Danu) appears to form the subst
